Davie Judge Walter Clark has accepted an invitation to deliver the address at the annual celebration of the battle of Guil ford Court House on July 4th. Ho has selected as his subject General William R. Davie: Gen, Davie was a Halifax man and was said to be the most gallant cavalry officer of tho Revolutionary war. He married a niece of the lato Willie Jones and lived in Halifax at the "Ilalliday" place from 1782 to 1805 and often represented the town in the Legislature. Ho was oleotod Governor in 1798 and was Minister to France from 179!) to 1803. There may bo interest ing traditions about this distinguished man still fresh ia tho mimN of some, and it would givo us pleasure to have any thut may be forwarded to us. Gen. Davie ran for Congress in this district and was defeated by H'illis Alston, lie afterward removed to Mississippi. Appropriations for Roanoke River and Fishing Creek. The liver and harbor bill as amended by the Senate contains an item of $50,000 for the continued improvement of Roanoke river and 85,000 for tho improvo ment of Fishing creek. A former appropriation of 10,000 for this latter purpose is still unexpended and if the present bill becomes o law as it now stands, thero will be $15,000 to the credit of Fishing creek improvement fund. We have been informed that nono of this appro priation will bo expended by tho govern ment until all the bridges now crossing that portion of the stream proposed to be improved are converted into drawbridges, This must be done by individuals or by the counties of Edgecombe and Halifa: of which tho creek is the line. The im provement of this stream would greatly choapen and facilitate tho transportation of farm products and thereby be an ad vantage to tho owners of land contiguous to the creek while it would enhance the value of the lands.

The Democratic Convention of Halifax County met at Halifax on Monday pur suant to tho call of the County Executive Committee. It was called to order by Dr. I. E. Green, Chairmau of tho Couuty Cjimniltee, who explained the object to hi the election of delegates to the Stato and district conventions, and to nominate candidates for county offices and the Legislature should it see Gt to do so. He appointed W. E. Daniel temporary chair man and requested tho newspaper men present to act as secretaries, After a few appropriate remarks Mr. Daniel declared tho convention ready to perfect its or ganization. W. A. Dunn moved that Mr. R. Ransom be mado permanent chairman, which was carried. T. L. Eiury moved that the temporary secretaries be made permanent, which was carried. The lists of delegates from tho several townships were handed in to the secreta ries. There were contests from Butterwood and Roseneath townships. W. II. Kitchio moved that a commit tee of five on credentials be appointed. W. E. Daniel offered an amendment to the effect that the committee on creden tials consist of one from each uncontes ted delegation;' The amendment was adopted and tbe motion as amended was carried. The following constituted the committee: - 1 Brinkleyville T II Taylor. Conoconara J It Weeks. Enfield W C Thome. Faueetts J W Johnston. Halifax E h Travis. Btlleton B B Pullen. Palmyra J T Johnston. Scotland Neck W F Butterworth. Wcldon T L Emry. W. A. Dunn moxed that both delega tions iu each contested case be admitted and given half the vote of the township. Capt. Kitchin said ho would favor Mr. Dunn's motion. E. A. Thome said he could not under stand how a contest could bo raised when there was only ono delegation. Under the motion to divide the vote his town ship would have only half of its vote when there was no delegation present to have the other half. Mr. Dunn withdrew bis motion. W. W. Hall moved to reconsider the vote by which tho cjiiiiuittee on creden tials was raised but this motion was not seconded. The convention took a recess until the credentials committee was ready to report and in about half an h ur it reported us follows through its chairman, E L. Travis : ' The committee on credentials respect fully recommend that from Butterwood township tho following delegates be seated, to wit: E. A. Thome, A.. E. Carter, G. P. Williams, W. E. Bowers; provided they proniiso to support tho county, State and National Democratic nominees and platforms and not other wise. We also recommend that Stuart Strick land, W T Vaughan, J J W Mitchell, P W Purrington, W T Whitehead, J E Trimm and M T Savage, be seatel as delegates from Roseneath township, it appearing to this emimitteo that they were elected by the Democratic conven tion of said township, and that the other delegation was not." The report was discussed by several. Capt. Thurne, stating the case as to his township said he came to this convention from a Democratic primary, and had asked admission to help save the State This is no time for ultrasiut. An allus ion by him to tho Alliance and the Third party brought Dr. Collins to his feet, who protested most earnestly against as sociating the Alliance with the Third party. At this there was great applause. Continuing Capt. Thorno said he had no intention of identifying tho Alliance with the Third party. He would not support a caididate for President nominated at the dictation of Wall street. It was a tad condition of affairs and he feared such procaedings would give the State to the Republicans. He had never known sueh action to ha taken in a Deiuo-'raMc convention. Capt. Day asked if he had ever known such a condition of affairs. He said he had not. He could not prom ise to endorse nominees unless they would endorse the ref Tin platform. He sub milted, but he b 'liaved this very aotion would carry the Siate into the R :pub i can ranks. Mr. Carter declined to make any statement. Mr. Bowers said the primary of But terwood township had been called in reg ular order. A motion was made at this primary to pledge all present to support tho Democratic nominees. This motion was tabled with one dissenting vote, He could not oppose the wishes of his pec- pie. He stood with the people of bis township. (Applause.) He could not promise to support a platform when he did not know who would make that plat form. He had used all his influence to keep down tho Third party in State af fairs. He had hoped this convention would bo conservative in its action, be cause there is an extreme clement which could only be reached by conservatism. Capt. Day moved that tho report of the committee bo not received as to But-t.'i-wood aud that it is tho seoso of this convention that Butterwood township is not represented in this convention. Tho motion was carried. The report was adopted so far as it re lated to Roseneath township. Capt. Day moved that no delegate who will not stand by tho Stato and Na tional Democratic nominees has a right nor is wanted here. Mr. J R Shearin asked if it be meant that the convention objected to others acting here. Ho was willing to support nominees for Stato offioes but was strong ly in favor of the St. Louis platform. Major Emry said there wero only two parties iu this country. This is a Demo cratic convention and no place for Third party men. If they want a Third party let them organize ono, but not try to cap ture a Democratic convention. Mr Dunn moved that tho convention proceed to elect delegates to the State convention, and that Wcldon and Scot land Neck be given three delegates each, Enfield and Palmyra two each, and the remaining townships one each. The motion was carried. On motion of Mr. W. E. Daniel the several townships selected delegates to the congressional convention. The several townships in a short time handed in the lists of delegates. Brinkleyvillo township beiug divided the convention elected T H Taylor as delegate to tho convention from that township. Butterwood not being represented on motion the convention elected T. F. Ma guire to represent the township in the State convention. Ou motion the chairmau and secretaries were made delegates at largo. Following, are the delegates as finally agreed upon.
